I like the Saw movies for the garbage WWE tier plot line they haphazardly intertwined through all the awful sequels, what I don’t like is the gratuitous amounts of gore, the cheap looking visuals, the nauseating editing style, and the god awful character writing. Unfortunately all the stuff I love from the Saw movies are nowhere to be seen here and instead we have all the crap I hate heightened thanks to it being an interactive experience.
I’d go into more detail about the game’s issues but I can think of ten more games I’d like writing about more than this one so I’m just leaving it here.

See I like them for the things that you dislike, and even then I was disappointed by this game. I don't think the PlayStation 3 was capable of rendering Gore at the level of the saw movies, and obviously with a video game you're not going to have the same level of control over the camera and cinematography

I mean I feel like Saw is very much one of those perfect IPs to be adapted for a video game, you just need a studio that cares about the IP and a publisher that will allocate the proper budget. Imagine a Saw escape room/survival horror puzzle game on the same level as other licensed horror games like Alien Isolation or the Friday the 13th Game.

I want a high budget exclusive PS5 Saw game that fallows all the halmarks of modern Sony exclusives but instead of it being a "prestige video game", it's Saw trying to be a prestige video game with it's over the top gore, dumb as dick storyline, it's next gen graphics trying to look last gen, and all of it is played straight just like in the movies.

I totally agree, and I don't think this game was without merit, I do think that the traps play into the mechanics in a kind of interesting way, but you're totally right. An escape room puzzle box game would really rock the house honestly, especially if they Make it canon in some stupid way

late to the convo but just wanted to drop in to say i've discussed recently with someone about how a saw-themed tycoon/dungeon keeper type game would go extremely hard or a bizarre battle royale/dbd mixture, as would the "prestige game" attempt @STRM mentioned here. this game is unironically carried by the voice clips in the audio settings menu
